Brave Ladies

Two brave women were in the news recently, one for protecting her home and the other for protecting her pet.

First we have a Middleton, Connecticut lady arriving home to hear the toilet flush in her 'empty' house. She quickly leaves again without alerting the intruder. Watching from up the street she calls police and when the thief left her house before police arrived she followed him while keeping the authorities apprised of his location till they could get there.

Then there is the Montana woman who hears a commotion outside at midnight. Going out, she sees a black bear attacking her 12 year old collie. She distracts the bear which charges her. Then as the bear swipes at her she jumps back inside and grabs the first thing she sees. A zucchini on the counter, throwing the vegetable, she hits the bear in the head and it runs off. She was uninjured.
